Lacy Richard passed away in 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 23. Her parents Glen and Shelly Richard, of Waterboro, held the 1st annual ride the following year and have, over the last six years, raised over $85,000 for others in need. “Lacy loved helping people and and enjoyed helping us with other benefit rides,” said her moth- er Shelly. When Lacy was diag- nosed in 1990, a benefit was held to help the Richard family with expenses. “Glen and I missed a lot of work and traveled to Boston frequently. Since then our entire family has paid it forward,” said Shelly. She says their son Zac and their friends Brian and Christine Nichole Houde, right, of Sanford, touches her best friend Lacy’s Happy 100th Birthday! have helped out since day one, as headstone after the memorial service held on Saturday, June 16 well as many others. in Buxton as part of the 6th Annual Lacy Richard Memorial Ride.

  • A History in Brief Beginning More with Geologic Upheavals, and Climatic Shifts, Than with Any Settlement, the Presumpscot’S History Has Existed Far Beyond Our Own
    A History in Brief Beginning more with geologic upheavals, and climatic shifts, than with any settlement, the Presumpscot’s history has existed far beyond our own. The European presence along its banks is but a small fraction of its existence, yet it has altered, in many cases irreversibly, what had come to be over many millenniums. The name itself is a glimpse through its now placid waters into the river’s past. The word Presumpscot comes from the native Abenaki-Pennacook people who lived along its banks, and refers to the river as bearing many falls or as a place of rough waters. It was along these falls and at the confluences with its tributaries that the native peoples flourished. They ate from its abundant fishery and grew corn along its banks. For countless generations, the river was their home and sustenance, as it was for the ancestral Native American peoples before them. From Sebago Lake to Casco Bay, different seasons would find them migrating to the most appropriate places along the river, thriving upon the abundant natural resources. In 1623 the English began to explore the Presumpscot when Christopher Levett went up-river "about three miles," or well beyond the first falls. Levett reported that he was very well received by Skedraguscett, the local sakamo. This was the beginning of some thirty years of apparent peace between Natives and newcomers. During this time land deeds were granted, such as Sagamore Scitterygussett’s to fisherman Francis Small, dated 27 July 1657. Over time, however, the Natives suffered more challenges to their existence than they were willing to accept.

My contribution is only from my own academic perspective — Native ethnohistory — because other specialists will cover both archaeology and Newcomers’ history per se. Several requests for my information led me to make my work available online now, before the entire book is eventually published. "What’s in a name?” Anthropologists try to understand the names that a 1. Ethnohistory combines the findings & society/culture uses for its persons, places, and theories of ethnology (cultural things, and what the criteria are for doing so. As anthropology) with the methods of outsiders looking in, the task can be difficult, and historiography (history-writing), thereby distorted by what other outsiders previously have mitigating the bias of the limited written misheard or misunderstood. Hearing, saying, writing, records about "the peoples without and in different dialects within a people, and over history".
